It convinced me to go play FF3 to see how much of the Crystal Tower stuff was worked in and what was original to FFXIV.

On the other hand I have no desire to play the Ivalice games due to this. They don't feel integrated like CT, which wove into concepts introduced earlier in the story like the Allagan Empire. Ivalice feels like it comes in, sets up every bit of its history and geography brand new from scratch and wants you to absorb all of it before you can appreciate what's going on.
